Durability Of Ten Kinds Of Wood.

Experiments made at the suggestion of
Professor Sargent by the Boston and
Providence Railroad on the enduring
qualities of various woods for railroad
ties have given results of importance to
farmers. In these experiments fifty-two
ties were laid in December, 1878, on a
track in Boston, where the traffic is very
heavy, having an average of sixty-five
trains daily. Ten kinds of wood were
tried, five in the natural state and five
creosoted. None of the ties rotted ex-
eept one Of the ailantus; the Others that
had to be removed had been injured by
the hammering of the trains. Spruce,
hemloek, larch and Southern pine have
all suffered badly in this way. White
oak lasted well, but it holds the spikes so
firmly that they cannot be drawn when
the rails have to be shifted. Creosoted
elm and birch did well, and are TO be rec
commended. Chestnut was unfortunate
y not included in the experiment, al
though 1t Is considered one of the bes;
woods for ties. The behavior of the ca
talpa was one Of the most interesting feat
ures of the case, all the ties of this wood
being sound, except Just under the rails.

Ruhla, mountain village of Thurin-
gia, is the centre of the pipe manufacture
{ of Germany. Like Sheffield, England. it
was famous in the middle ages for its
arms and amor, and at a subsequent
period for its knives. When the use of
tobacco became common in Europe, it
turned its attention to the fabrication of
iron smoking pipes. Gradually, how
ever, beginning in the seventeenth CEN
fury, mecrschaum and wood were adopted
as more suitable materials to work upon.
The first meerschaum pipe was carved in
the carly part of the thirty years war,
and Wallenstcin is said TO have bought
it. The true clay is TO be produced only
at Eski-Scher, in Asia Miner, where there
are large deposits, ard whence it is sent
direct 10 to the manufactures at Ruhla,
of which there are at present forty, en-
nir,+sg almost tho whole pontlafion of
me district The number OF pipes. and
the other articles dear to smokers, turned
out is enormous, the yearly average be-
ing $40, 900 real meerschaums, varying in
price from six cents 10 $50 each; 500
900 imitation mecTschaums, at from
twenty-five cents TO s. per dozen; 1900,
600 porcelain pipe bowls, either plain
white or gayly painted, ranging in price
from eight cents to $3.50 per dozen; s.
600, 600 wooden pipes of infinite variety
in size, form and ornamentation, and
price, the common kinds being extremely
cheap and those artistically carved
fetching comparatively high price;
5000, 900 bowls of clay or lava, plain, at
about six cents, and of better kind at sew
enty-fve cents par dozen; $1,000, 600
pipes composed Of separate parts bowl,
stick, cover, etc. from ten cents 10
$1.25 per dozen. There are five qualities
of mccrschaum used in the making Of
pipes. The best is known by its facile
absorption of nicotine juice of tobacco,
which gradually developes into rich
brown blush upon the surface, and when
this process is well advanced, the pipe
becomes almost invulnerable without be-
ing hard A specimen of this kind sold
at Vienna for $3.50, although it was not
very highly carved Tobacco

A Lion.Tamer's Nerve.

Crockett made the greatest name for
himself of any lion tanner, not in
England alone, but in France, Ger
many and America II remember
well, says Archibald Forbes, ''the time
when the six lions were loose at one time
in Astley's. The Sangers had sent the
beasts up from Edmonton the night be
fore. Nobody to this day knows how
they got out of their dens; but it was
thought at the time that some one of the
grooms-with whom the manager was
very unpopular, he used to fine them so
mercilessly-had let them loose mali
eiously, that they might get at the horses.
There they were, anyhow, loose in the
place, smelling the horses, and mad to get
at them. They had already killed a man,
aud had eaten him when Crockett ar
rived. Without halting an instant, he
dashed in among them single-handed,
with only a switch in his hand, and I'm
best il he didn't manage to den them all
single-handed. That was nerve for you. "

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Joseph Chamberlain,
in speech at Hawick to-day. expressed
the belief that from what had passed at the
conference of Radicals and Liberals
"a complete agreement with the Lib
eral leaders might be attained. He
asked the Liberals to wait with
hope and confidence the result of the fur
ther deliberations of the conference. Ire
land, he said, has too long been the play
ground Of paid agitators. The land oues-
ton ought to be dealt with finally by max
ing the cultivators owners and enlarging
small holdings. The tenants would never
be satisfied while they had the
hope of getting land for nothing. which
hope formed the basis of the plan of cam
paign. This plan, the speaker said, was
the most immoral, the most dishonest con-
spiracy ever devised in civilized country.
Mr.. Chamberlain said be was
hopeful that the question of autonomy
would be settled upon the principle of
provident legislative authority for the Irish
to manage their domestic affairs with a
provision preserving the rights of minori-
ties and the integrity of the empire.

"KUDDY GORE.

Gilbert and Sullivan's New Opera
Emth usiasticafiy Received at Lon.
don.
LONDON, Jan. 22.-'Ruddy Gore, or the
Witch's Curse" Gilbert and Sullivan's
latest operate production. was tonight
performed for the first time at the Savoy
theater before the elite of London society.
The audience received the opera, which is
a highly original work and is described by
Mr.. Gilbert as a supernatural opera, with
bundles enthusiasm, which eliminated in
a grand ovation for Sir Arthur Sullivaa,
who conducted the orchestra. The plot,
which is a traveSty on an Old-fashioned
melodrama, is very complicated, and turns
mainly on the effects of curse pronounced
by witch. Mad Margaret" on the race
of ''MurgatFoydS'' as punishment fo1sthe sin
of one of that line Of baronets who led her
astray. One of the most original features
of the opera was introduced in the scene
where the portraits Of the wicked baronetS
family walk out of their frames. For all
instant the whole house was
THROWN INTO ABSOLUTE DARKNESS,
the music still continuing, conducted by
Sir Arthur Sullivan with a baton illumin-
ated by electricity. Advantage was taken
on the stage of the momentary obscurity to
roll up the curtain. linen SllgnG llgnt
was thrown upon the stage, the rest of the
house remaining dark, ami the living fig
ures which had previously been hidden
behind the pictures stepped forth to re-
proach the present baronet, Grossmith, for
not acting up to the curse sufficiently, in
that he has failed to be wicked enough.
The appointments, scenery and dresses used
in the construction of the opera are of the
most magnificent character. The exquisite
wit of the libretto and the invariably charm
ing and. in certain passages, truly grand
character of the music, parodying though
it does the old style of instrumental music,
fully deserve the splendor of the mise en-
scene. The opera will be placed in Ger

Ill. Twelve years ago the family moved to

really her parents. They educated her and
she went into Notre Dame convent here on
Dec. "a. 1885, as novitiate. Meantime
her brother has grown to be man and has
been looking for his sister. The fathers
whereabouts is not known and the brother
sought his sister alone. One year ago he
located her in st. Louis, but was not a.
lowed to reveal his identity to her. although
he was permitted to see her. He placed
the matter i'll the hands of the law firm

reference to vacancies in Irish celebrates,
says that after consulting with his principal
colleagues it was decided to ask Mr. Swift
Mcneil to offer himself as candidate in

ness for Office as consistent advocate of
home rule for years and one who earned
Mr.. Gladstone's appreciation as writer ON
Irish subjects, Mr.. Parnell says:
Mr.. McNeilIs election as a Protestant
Nationalist by a Catholic electorate will have

dces of northern Protestants, affording, as it
will, to Ulster signal example of that love
of liberation and absence Of bigotry so re-
markable among the Catholics of Ireland.
